Xi Zhinong was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged bird in the big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature.
His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds.
In the 1980s, the internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favourite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature.
In 1992, a research programme was organized to protect a type of unusual monkey which only lives in China. Usually the winter in the home of these monkeys lasts half a year. It created great challenges for Xi Zhinong's work, but he never drew back. "I didn't see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains for the third time," said Xi Zhinong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys.
Three years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
In order to call on people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started China Wildlife Photography Training Camp. He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection.
